Answer:
The number of monthly calls for which Plan 1 is more economical than Plan 2 is 200 calls If more than 200 calls are made, the plan 1 charge will be more than plan 2. Let the number of charges per month be x If plan 2 charges $16 per month plus $0.04 per call, this is expressed as 0.04x + 16 Price that pan 1 charges = $24 If Plan 1 is more economical than Plan 2, this is expressed as:0.04x + 16 > 24 Subtract 16 from both sides:0.04x + 16 - 16 > 24 - 16 0.04x > 8 x = 6/0.04 x = 200 This shows that if more than 200 calls are made, the plan 1 charge will be more than plan 2.
